Ezra 7
1 Now after these things in the reign of Artaxerxes king of the Persians, Esdras the son of Saraias, the son of Azarias, the son of Helcias,
यसपछि फारसका राजा अर्तासास्तको शासनकालमा बेबिलोनबाट एज्रा आए । एज्राका पुर्खाहरू यिनै थिएः सरायाह, अजर्याह, हिल्कियाह,
2 The son of Sellum, the son of Sadoc, the son of Achitob,
शल्लूम, सादोक, अहीतूब,
3 The son of Amarias, the son of Azarias, the son of Maraioth,
अमर्याह, अजर्याह, मरायोत,
4 The son of Zarahias, the son of Ozi, the son of Bocci,
जरयाह, उज्जी, बुक्की,
5 The son of Abisue, the son of Phinees, the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest from the beginning.
अबीशू, पीनहास, एलाजार । एलाजार प्रधान पुजारी हारूनका छोरा थिए ।
6 This Esdras went up from Babylon, and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the Lord God had given to Israel: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the Lord his God upon him.
एज्रा बेबिलोनबाट आए, र इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले दिनुभएका मोशाको व्यवस्थामा तिनी निपुण अध्यापक थिए । परमप्रभुको हात तिनीमाथि भएको हुनाले तिनले मागेका हरेक कुरा राजाले दिए ।
7 And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the children of the priests, and of the children of the Levites, and of the singing men, and of the porters, and of the Nathinites to Jerusalem in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
राजा अर्तासास्तको सातौं वर्षमा इस्राएलका केही सन्तानहरू, पुजारीहरू, लेवीहरू, मन्दिरका गायकहरू, द्वारपालहरू र मन्दिरमा सेवा गर्न नियुक्त गरिएकाहरू पनि यरूशलेममा गए ।
8 And they came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, in the seventh year of the king.
तिनी त्यही वर्षको पाँचौं महिनामा यरूशलेममा आइपुगे ।
9 For upon the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem according to the good hand of his God upon him.
पहिलो महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा तिनी बेबिलोनबाट हिंडेका थिए । परमेश्वरको असल हात तिनीमाथि रहेको हुनाले तिनी पाँचौं महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा यरूशलेममा आइपुगे ।
10 For Esdras had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, and to do and to teach in Israel the commandments and judgment.
परमप्रभुको व्यवस्थाका विधिहरू र आज्ञाहरू अध्ययन गर्न, पालन गर्न र सिकाउन एज्राले आफ्नो ह्रदय समर्पित गरेका थिए ।
11 And this is the copy of the letter of the edict, which king Artaxerxes gave to Esdras the priest, the scribe instructed in the words and commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies in Israel.
राजा अर्तासास्तले इस्राएलका लागि परमप्रभुका विधिहरू र आज्ञाहरू सिकाउन पुजारी र अध्यापक एज्रालाई दिएको आदेशको प्रतिलिपी यही हो,
12 Artaxerxes king of kings to Esdras the priest, the most learned scribe of the law of the God of heaven, greeting.
“राजाहरूका राजा अर्तासास्तबाट स्वर्गका परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थाका अध्यापक पुजारी एज्रालाई,
13 It is decreed by me, that all they of the people of Israel, and of the priests and of the Levites in my realm, that are minded to go into Jerusalem, should go with thee.
इस्राएलबाट आएका मेरो राज्यमा भएका कुनै पनि व्यक्ति आफ्ना पुजारी र लेवीहरूका साथमा यरूशलेममा जाने इच्छा गर्छ भने त्यो तिमीसँगै जान सक्छ भनी म हुकुम दिंदैछु।
14 For thou art sent from before the king, and his seven counsellors, to visit Judea and Jerusalem according to the law of thy God, which is in thy hand.
तिम्रो हातमा भएको परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थामुताबिक यहूदा र यरूशलेमको बारेमा सोधखोज गर्न म राजा र मेरा सात जना सल्लाहकारले तिमीलाई पठाएका छौं ।
15 And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose tabernacle is in Jerusalem.
यरूशलेममा बास गर्नुहुने इस्राएलका परमेश्वरलाई तिनीहरूले सित्तैंमा चढाएका चाँदी र सुन लिएर जानू ।
16 And all the silver and gold that thou shalt find in all the province of Babylon, and that the people is willing to offer, and that the priests shall offer of their own accord to the house of their God, which is in Jerusalem,
बेबिलोनको प्रदेशभरि तिमीले लैजान सक्ने जति चाँदी र सुनसाथै यरूशलेममा आफ्ना परमेश्वरका मन्दिरको निम्ति मानिसहरू र पुजारीहरूले खुसीसाथ जुन भेटीहरू दिन्छन्, ती पनि तिमीले लैजानू ।
17 Take freely, and buy diligently with this money, calves, rams, lambs, with the sacrifices and libations of them, and offer them upon the altar of the temple of your God, that is in Jerusalem.
त्यसैले यस रकमले प्रशस्त मात्रामा गोरुहरू, भेडाहरू, थुमाहरू, अन्नबलि र अर्घबलि किन्नू । यरूशलेममा तिम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको वेदीमा ति चढाउनू ।
18 And if it seem good to thee, and to thy brethren to do any thing with the rest of the silver and gold, do it according to the will of your God.
तिम्रा परमेश्वरलाई खुसी तुल्याउन तिमी र तिम्रा दाजुभाइलाई असल लागेअनुसार बाँकी चाँदी र सुनको प्रयोग गर्नू ।
19 The vessels also, that are given thee for the sacrifice of the house of thy God, deliver thou in the sight of God in Jerusalem.
तिमीलाई सित्तैंमा दिइएका चिजहरू यरूशलेममा तिम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको सेवाको लागि उहाँको सामु राख्नू ।
20 And whatsoever more there shall be need of for the house of thy God, how much soever thou shalt have occasion to spend, it shall be given out of the treasury, and the king’s exchequer, and by me.
तिम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको लागि आवश्यक कुनै पनि थोक किन्नलाई मेरो कोषबाट पैसा लिनू ।
21 I Artaxerxes the king have ordered and decreed to all the keepers of the public chest, that are beyond the river, that whatsoever Esdras the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, you give it without delay,
म अर्तासास्तले यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिको प्रान्तमा भएका सबै कोषाध्यक्ष यो आदेश दिन्छु, कि एज्राले तिमीहरूबाट मागेका कुनै पनि थोक प्रचुर मात्रामा दिनू,
22 Unto a hundred talents of silver, and unto a hundred cores of wheat, and unto a hundred bates of wine, and unto a hundred bates of oil, and salt without measure.
अर्थात् एक सय तोडा चाँदी, एक सय कोर गहुँ, एक सय बाथ दाखमद्य, एक सय बाथ तेल र नूनचाहिं असिमित रूपमा दिनू ।
23 All that belongeth to the rites of the God of heaven, let it be given diligently in the house of the God of heaven: lest his wrath should be enkindled against the realm of the king, and of his sons.
स्वर्गका परमेश्वरबाट आउने कुनै पनि आज्ञा आउँछ भने उहाँको मन्दिरको लागि भक्तिसहित पुरा गर्नू । किनकि म र मेरा छोराहरूको राज्यमाथि उहाँको क्रोध पर्न किन दिनू?
24 We give you also to understand concerning all the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nathinites, and ministers of the house of this God, that you have no authority to impose toll or tribute, or custom upon them.
पुजारीहरू, लेवीहरू, गायकहरू, द्वारपालहरू वा मन्दिरको सेवामा नियुक्त गरिएका मानिसहरू र परमेश्वरको मन्दिरका सेवकहरूमा तिमीहरूले कुनै महसुल वा कर नलगाउनु भनेर हामीले तिनीहरूलाई जानकारी गराउँदैछौं ।
25 And thou Esdras according to the wisdom of thy God, which is in thy hand, appoint judges and magistrates, that may judge all the people, that is beyond the river, that is, for them who know the law of thy God, yea and the ignorant teach ye freely.
एज्रा, तिमीलाई परमेश्वरले दिनुभएको बुद्धिले तिमीले यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिको प्रान्तमा भएका सबै मानिसको न्याय गर्न र तिम्रो परमेश्वरको व्यवस्था जान्ने सबैको सेवा गर्न न्यायकर्ताहरू र अधिकारीहरू नियुक्त गर्नू । व्यवस्था नजान्नेहरूलाई पनि तिमीले सिकाउनुपर्छ ।
26 And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king diligently, judgment shall be executed upon him, either unto death, or unto banishment, or to the confiscation of goods, or at least to prison.
परमेश्वरको व्यवस्था वा राजाको व्यवस्थालाई पूर्ण रूपमा पालन नगर्ने जोकसैलाई मृत्युदण्ड, देश निकाला, तिनीहरूका थोकहरू जफत वा कैद गरेर दण्ड दिनू ।
27 Blessed be the Lord the God of our fathers, who hath put this in the king’s heart, to glorify the house of the Lord, which is in Jerusalem,
हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको स्तुति होस् जसले यरूशलेममा भएको परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको महिमा गर्न राजाको ह्रदयमा यी सबै कुरा हाल्नुभयो,
28 And hath inclined his mercy toward me before the king and his counsellors, and all the mighty princes of the king: and I being strengthened by the hand of the Lord my God, which was upon me, gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
अनि राजा, तिनका सल्लाहाकारहरू र तिनका सबै शक्तिशाली अधिकारीहरूका सामु मलाई उहाँको करारको विश्वास्तता देखाउनुभयो । म परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वरको हातद्वारा बलियो बनाइएको छु, र मैले आफूसित जानलाई इस्राएलका अगुवाहरूलाई भेला गरें ।
